Hi all, again, I'm playing a bit with processing my xml in lua. I want a simple interface for processing tables (I don't need all the power and complexity of cals tables and want to learn something in the process). And I thought that collecting the setups in lua might be the easiest way, but so far, I haven't been successful. Here's an example: \startbuffer[test] <a> <nattable frame="on"> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5</td> <td>6</td> <td>7</td> <td>8</td> </tr> </nattable> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{main}{a|nattable|tr|td|}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:nattable \startluacode framestate = lxml.att("#1", "frame") context(framestate) context(true) context.placefigure( { "here" }, "none" , function() context.setupTABLE( { "frame=on" } ) context.bTABLE() context.xmlflush("#1") context.eTABLE() end) \stopluacode \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:tr \startluacode context.bTR() context.xmlflush("#1") context.eTR() \stopluacode \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:td \startluacode context.bTD() context.xmlflush("#1") context.eTD() \stopluacode \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext question: I have the value "on" in the lua variable "framestate." But how can I pass this on to the line context.setupTABLE( { "frame=on" } )? I tried something like context.setupTABLE( { "frame=" .. framestate } ) but that doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thomas
